Yes, use a normal backup to restore a DC!!! NEVER EVER USE
AN IMAGE TO RESTORE A DC!!!
IMAGES/SNAPSHOTS are not AD aware when restoring. So I guess
you have been having troubles because of a USN rollback
you can find more info at:

in Windows 2000 Server

I restored a Windows 2000 DC from a most recent ghost image, but it
cannot replicate to and from other DCs. The DC within the same site gives
the "target principal name is incorrect" when trying to replicate to this
restore DC. The DC on the other site of the WAN link gives "Access is
denied" when trying to replicate this DC.
Just less than a week ago I did forestprep and domainprep to my Windows
2000 domain so as to allow a Windows 2003 server to be promoted to DC into
this domain. Unluckily today the Windows 2000 DC that host the PDC, RID,
Infrastructure master could not completely startup (directory service
database corrupted). The ghost image does not contains the changes to the AD
of forestprep and domainprep.
Is there a way to resolve this replication
problem?
